PhoenixRise Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) So here at Love Shack in the infidelity forum we have an active thread asking if the OW should tell or not. On the OW forum we have 2 active threads about the unspoken rule not to tell. Then some time last month we had Rielle Hunter posing in a magazine but then crying foul because the pictures she posed for were provocative. NOW 4 of Tiger Woods mistresses are provocatively posed in Vanity Fair magazine and sharing some pretty skanky details of their affairs http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/31/tiger-woods-vanity-fair-m_n_519766.html So do all the rules, spoken and unspoken go out the window if there is fame and money involved? I just can not get inside the mind of someone who would want to be famous just because they had sex with somebody famous. AND I am wondering if the fact that these women are being featured in more mainstream/high end magazines and not tabloids is making affairs more acceptable and elevating OW in our culture.

norajane Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 There have always been groupies and hangers-on to famous actors, musicians, artists, politicians and sports figures. Yes, people want to be famous, even if it's for something crappy. Look at the proliferation of reality tv! All those people doing stupid crap just to get on tv. And people love a scandal! It sells. The media capitalizes on scandals to sell. I don't think publicity legitimizes affairs. It's actually the other way around. If affairs were acceptable, there would be no scandal and no story to sell.
BlueeyedJonesy Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I can't believe that someone is giving these women a voice..they don't deserve it. Can you imagine how that has to feel to Elin? and the reason behind it all???? suprise suprise IT'S MONEY. They are gold digging whores who will never amount to anything. I'm sorry to be so rash...but I don't think they deserve any better. The way I see it..If I were iin an A with a married man and I "loved" him like a few of these women claimed..I would never go on tv interviews and magazines and blab...it causes so much pain for everyone on the other side and they are being rewarded acting in such a ruthless matter... so yeah if you want to be spiteful and rub salt on someones already pretty deep wound then yeah..go ahead..its no wonder non of thses women r married. I will say that there is a huge difference in outing him directly to the BS and her only..which I don't find anything wrong with that except the OW/OM intentions are always bad wether they tell or not..if they don't...they are usually just trying to keep it under wraps so it doesn't come to an end..and when they tell its usually because they are bitter about something...I find it sickening!:sick:
Lizzie60 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I agree with jthorne Plus.. I should add... that those male 'celebs' are idiots.. because they should know that most of those OWs will go after them if they get caught or if the arrangement ends.. Jesse James' mistress told a friend that all she wanted was to be famous for a while... I don't blame the OWs ... I blame the MMs.. in those cases.. they play with fire..and they get burned..

BLAME the medias.. they are the ones making big bucks... do you honestly think that the medias would give those women thousands of $$$$ just for their big boobs.. nope... they make big bucks because PEOPLE LOVE those juicy stories.... If there were no demand.. there would be no offers.. simple as that.. We're all here talking about those women... see... people are obsessed with 'scandals' ... especially the sex scandals..
BlueeyedJonesy Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I know this is kinda OT and I don't mean to threadjack but its a crazy story...My mom reminded me of this incident the other day. We were in Dallas. I was 15, and we were there for vacation..the first night we got there we were checking into our hotel and all of us kids were running around like crazy (I had six siblings including step) and we saw him in the hotel parking lot...so we went running back into the hotel to get paper and pen for an autograph and we were all yelling.."tiger woods is outside" and so everyone went to the window and all of the women including my mom were like "guys thats not him..his wife has blonde hair" HAHAHAA HE was with one of his other women...If I only had a camera.
Author PhoenixRise Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 I think it is interesting the way these women are being photographed. If I remember correctly, Tiger's women were all pretty ordinary women. Some were pretty but none were bombshells. In fact they were waitresses in lower end restaurants, single moms, etc. But in these photos, they are all teased to perfection, pouty lipped, high heeled, man catching, sex pots. They play right into the stereotype (and into a BW fear) about who the OW is.
BlueeyedJonesy Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I don't blame the OWs ... I blame the MMs.. in those cases.. they play with fire..and they get burned.. Well of course we all know that Lizzie...its never the OW's fault. We all just need to accept that they are ruthless human beings and move on...

Too Funny. Ironic that your mom assumed it couldn't be him just because the woman he was with was not Elin.

Pheonix I think it is because scandal sells media for big bucks, and if you dally with a famous celebrity or politician, the papparazzi become unbearable. So these OW either capitulate to the papparazzi's relentless dogging and then are convinced to pose or tell all for a few bucks. The fact that they succumb to either or both is just....telling of how easily manipulated they can be, by either the philandering MM or the subsequent media fall out. Elevated? Hardly. More like sadly laughable.

They never loved Tiger because if they did they wouldn't open their big fat whorish mouths for anything other than to gobble......
Lizzie60 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Some of those OW even become 'icons'... just remember Marilyn Monroe... we're still talking about her affairs with the Kennedy's...
BlueeyedJonesy Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 lizzie please don't try to inspire women to live such a low life..Marilyn Monroe is an Icon because of her acting, singing and modeling. Do you think she was named the sixth greatest actress of all time because she slept with a kennedy? absolutely not.

More like sadly laughable. I agree that scandal sells and I know the oversexualized images will make big bucks for the media. I don't know how much of this is a result of these women giving in to papparazzi pressure VS them actively seeking a pay off for having had sex with a famous man.
dazzle22 Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Sadly, today,s culture and the media that feeds it is all about appealling to the absolute lowest common denominator. Every has been celebrity and 'wannabe's' air their dirty laundry for their 15 mintes of fame and unfortunately, we reward such behavior.

If people would not buy all those celebs' magazines, newspapers, watch all those papparazzi's programs on TV ... there would be no need for 'sex scandals'..
OWoman Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 papparazzi's relentless dogging You know, I always wondered who all those parked cars at the local dogging site belonged to - now I know! It's the paps! So... don't go dogging if you don't want your pic to end up on Perez Hilton...
threebyfate Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 So that's why the OW went public, they didn't get paid for their services! Woods is one stupid man if he believed all these women wanted him for himself or his sexual abilities. Typical NPDer...
